Abstract:
This annex provides details in terms of number of districts producing small millets, districts above or below 1,000 hectares cultivation area, and production in tonnes. It attempts to predict market potential based on assumptions of: home consumption through manual processing (15%); surplus sold out of the state or to very large processing units (35%); share that may go to Commercial units for processing (30 %) and share that may go to village level processing (20%); as well as capacity utilisation at commercial units of 150 tons/year with village level units of 10/year.
